PiXL - imdb xml for llink

[PoPEye]

I'm happy to announce my latest project PiXL.
PoPEye's Imdb to Xml for Llink. PiXL is a php script for generating xml and jpg's needed for e.g. my kamaishi_skies skin. Input is imbd id. Since llink supports user scrips its trivial to write a .sh script grepping the imdb id from .nfo files and wgetting the xml and jpg.
Without the class.imbd.php from http://sourceforge.net/projects/imdbphp/ this couldn't have been done and is needed for PiXL to work

UPDATE: Did some minor tweaks for performance when resizing images and are now using the latest imdbphp.

Seems to be interesting - is there any kind of documentation how this works?

Thanks.

Did you follow the link ?

Quote:PoPEye's Imdb to Xml for Llink. A php script for generating xml and coverphoto from imdb.

Code:

http://site.com/PiXL/pixl.php?id=tt123456

will generate a mymovies.xml and a reference to folder.jpg

Code:

http://site.com/PiXL/pixl.php?id=tt123456&jpg=1

will generate folder.jpg

adding

Code:

http://site.com/PiXL/pixl.php?id=tt123456&rls=name.of.the.folder

will generate name.of.the.folder.xml with a reference to name.of.the.folder.jpg

Code:

http://site.com/PiXL/pixl.php?id=tt123456&rls=name.of.the.folder&jpg=1

will generate name.of.the.folder.jpg

I will do a plain gui for those who want to search and manually get their files. but you can try it here http://efflon.com/pixl/pixl.php?id=tt028...days.later and http://efflon.com/pixl/pixl.php?id=tt028...ater&jpg=1

Hmm - so this does not recursively scan directories and generate the xml files. This is what I was looking for - probably I am just a spoiled user of YAMJ which does exactly this. This is the reason why I have not switched to llink.
I have lots of movies (hundreds), some of them episodes of TV series. Generating this for all of them by hand is a little cumbersome.

How could a remote site recursively scan your directories? It could be easily done with a .sh script but you sound to spoiled to do that

Im only offering a general off device solution for generating imdb data for llink....

Not a remote site of course - I appreciate this solution and see the potential.

I was looking for possibilities to

1. scan through my folders
2. take the .avi/.mkv files
3. string search on imbd
4. get back with the ID
5. feed this to your script
   

Maybe someone will contribute this kind of a wrapper on PiXL.

It shouldnt be to hard
The main issue as I see it, is what hit do you want. Always the first?
If this is the case, It isnt to hard to write a .sh script.

I will expand PiXL with a search option , &srch=the.movie.mkv , returning the first hit as the.movie.mkv.xml/jpg . Just give me some time

First hit should be OK - this is what YAMJ also does.
Following the pareto principle this would be a good solution - for the rest one could always do it manually.

My main idea is to integrate the solution into llink. Just browse to a folder, select menu and runt the PiXL script. no computers needed

Doesn't llink have a built-in IMDB scraper?

[PoPEye]

Yes. But you manually run that. Here you could easily update your imdb info by just using the remote...

[PoPEye]

I've updated the code a bit. Now you have a manual search page where you can enter file name (rls) and imdb id or the name you want to search http://efflon.com/pixl/pixl.html .
You can also use the variable &srch=file.name.dvdscr.avi when using the service from a script. In that search case all dots, dvdscr, avi, xvid, 720p etc are removed before searching imdb. The first hit will give you the xml or jpg

Awesome, I love it now that you have the web interface. Great work PoPEye. Thanks.

[PoPEye]

A big warning, the PCH cant handle to many big cover photos. Just made a script updating all my covers and now the browsing is so slow and the skin is only half working...

I will add an option to resize images to your preferred size and also publish my batch script if anyone are interested...
